            Bug ID: 291817
           Summary: 14.x base.conf on 15.x
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: andrew.cagney@gmail.com

I'm trying to migrate an automated KVM install of FreeBSD from 14.3 to 15.0.

The setup uses `FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso` with the files
`loader.conf` and `base.conf` added.  With nothing changed from 15.x (other
than the 15.x ISO) I'm finding the process is getting stuck at `Mirror
Selection`.  Presumably there's something I need to add to my `base.conf` but
I've no luck figuring out what.  Looking in
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdinstall&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+15.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html#SCRIPTING

the suggested script, and my file (below) look close to identical.

# bsdinstall(8) configuration.
# This is added to the install ISO as /etc/installerconf.
DISTRIBUTIONS=""
DISTRIBUTIONS="${DISTRIBUTIONS} base.txz"
DISTRIBUTIONS="${DISTRIBUTIONS} kernel.txz"
DISTRIBUTIONS="${DISTRIBUTIONS} ports.txz"
DISTRIBUTIONS="${DISTRIBUTIONS} src.txz"
DISTRIBUTIONS="${DISTRIBUTIONS} tests.txz"
PARTITIONS=vtbd0
export TERM=vt100
#
# stuff run after install finishes
#
#!/bin/sh
# make serial permanent
cat <<EOF >> /boot/loader.conf
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole"
autoboot_delay="1"
EOF
